It's never too late! I could get notifications if people post to threads I wrapped up months ago, I'm happy to still talk about those. A day or so isn't a problem!

I'm inclined to agree with the Goro's Too Green explanation for his loss to Ouja. He's a good fighter, but Zolda's move-set is all guns and robots. With a little practice, he could probably have been able to give Asakura more of a challenge, but asking him to survive against one of the most dangerous Riders in his first ever battle... I think he knew he was outclassed.

Oh, I think he definitely dies at the hospital. Everything before the reset is The Most Tragic, and that means everybody dies. I wouldn't be surprised if they'd cut a scene where the Ore Journal offices explode and Atori gets swallowed in a sinkhole.

It's just that Yui's someone who overall wants the best for the world. If Shiro's gonna fulfill what she wants, he's gotta do something that good, regardless of his morality (to others). It's that Yui's wants that came to play, Shiro, with his vast powers, is just the means to achieve that.

This is a really sweet interpretation. Thanks for sharing it!
